On top of these, the final act of Echoes will also introduce players to a brand-new exotic mission that comes alongside a new exotic weapon that has left fans very excited. Assistant game director Robbie Stevens also talked about what fans could expect from the upcoming exotic mission.
He called it "one of the biggest Exotic missions we've ever built," adding that it was only possible to add because of the new content cadence. Stevens said that it would have been impossible to build such a massive Exotic mission in the past, according to TheGamePost.
Stevens added that this is where they see the development team taking the opportunity to really seize the chance to expand Nessus. He called Destiny a living world that is expanding and changing throughout time.
The new episodic model has allowed Bungie to stretch their creative muscles in a way that was not previously possible. But so far, the studio has not yet revealed any further details regarding the release date of the new exotic mission.
